What?
Before we get to the, 'how,' and the, 'when,' you might be wondering what exactly it's all about?
Aware is a national organisation providing free support, education, and information services to those impacted by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and related mood conditions.

Christmas is a time for coming together; as a family, a community, and even as a country.
So, Aware are asking us to come together virtually to help fund their vital free services, and support people impacted by depression and bipolar disorder.

Everyone who signs up gets a custom medal, that doubles as a Christmas tree decoration.
And you can take part wherever you are in the country; from Brittas Bay to Ballina, Dingle to Donegal, Kingscourt to Kilkenny.
